Any veggy types that are good here, be it bean, fleshy veggies, roots, berries r whatever. I'm done with experimenting, ready to just go ahead and try what is proven here.

Thanks Rick. I think I have come to the conclusion that Home Depot Seeds are mostly junk. With the exception I had good luck with their "Garden Beans" Bush bean. Their radishes did good but were erratic and heck in size.

I'm going to get my tiller fixed and start working my soil over the winter, by spring I should be ready to plant.

Do you sprout in cups then put out sets or do you sprout right in the garden? The Beans I mentioned took off right in the garden but most things I sprouted on the porch in cups failed in the garden.

This year I got Bean Contenders for Green Beans and King of The Garden Big Lima beans. Both from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. I have cut back tremendously and just cant do the garden stuff much any more. Just a few plants here and there.

Try one of your local feed stores they are much cheaper for seed that will germinate and produce much better.

I've read that works well and looking forward to trying it this year.

We have collards that we've been snipping all winter and just set out some subarctic plenty tomatoes as my experiment this year. Will also add some different varieties of tomatoes, turnips, radishes, onions first chance I get...then when it really warms up, field peas,okra, & sweet potatoes will dominate our garden.

While were talkin garden produce. Don't forget your Yellow crooked neck Squash. Then go find Rick's recipe right here in Redneck Cuisine for pickled squash. You will NOT be disappointed !

Plant 20 times more than you want to initially. On them hot summer days when you reach in the cooler for the jar of them you will be singing Rick's praises. I kid you not !

That is if they last the week out even LOL !
